Soon Climax Molybdenum was processing an average of 475 tons of ore per day, good for 75 percent of world production. Phillipson died of diffused meningitis in October 1930, at the age of forty, just as the Great Depression began to destroy domestic molybdenum demand. Max Schott, who had organized the original Climax syndicate, took over the ...
Agitation plays an important role in leaching processes. The results of agitation, shown in Fig. 4 under optimum leach conditions; indicate that molybdenum extraction increases from 48.1% to 98.9% as the agitation speed increases from 200 to 500 rpm. A further increase in agitation speed up to 700 rpm has no significant effect on …
